Dear Parents,

When we see design, appreciation fo r the designer is a

spontaneous reaction. The w orld we live in, is resplendent with intelligent design; but how often do we pause to think o f the intelligent

designer, the Supreme Personality o f G odhead, Sri Krishna?

In the Bhagavad G ita 10.41, Krishna says, 'Know tha t a ll beautiful, glorious and m ighty creations spring from but a spark o f my splendour'.

Everything has it's irrevocable connection to the Supreme Personality o f

G odhead, Sri Krishna. This book is our endeavor to help children

see that connection from the very beginning.

Hare Krishna!
